    Default What’s up with LAL touted as contenders how?

    I don’t understand. They barely made the playoffs. Oh wait. They made the play in. They put together some wins at the end, but other teams didn’t have as much at stake as they did. So now they’re contenders? Favorites over Grizzlies? Is it me or is the media trying to force this on us?

    Lebron is a stationary truck. He can drive and get some baskets. But the majority of the game he barely moves around.

    Better question is, what’s up with the play in? I heard even the Mavs coaches and players didn’t understand it, and missed the play in due to the confusion.

    It's obvious. With the post-trade-deadline roster, the Lakers are 17-7.

    They're 9-1 when LeBron is in the starting line-up, and should really be 10-0, as they fell asleep against the Jazz, up 10 points with 90 seconds to go .

    If LeBron and AD are both healthy, the Lakers can beat anybody.

    Could be wrong, but I reckon that over the last 2 months of the season, the Lakers had the best record in the West.
